Today on our show we will begin our conversation with Alliance founder “Jacare”, who proudly shares that the competitors just from his own school in Atlanta scored 55 points. We discuss the improving female competition team from Alliance with competitors like Luanna Alzuguir and Gabi Garcia, new stars like heavyweight and absolute champion Bernardo Faria, as well as the internal work Alliance does to keep its standards high.

We’ll also speak with the highest performing American competitor at the Pan Jiu-Jitsu, Rafael Lovato Jr. Lovato earned the second place in the heavyweight division. We will hear what it was like facing Faria, about some more recent techniques seen in tournaments, as well as Lovato’s overall impression of the tournament.

Our third interviewee is Budo Jake, who visits to discuss how Budo decided what to show during their live web stream on Sunday during the finals.
